6th July, 2008 Committee Meeting Notices. Due to
greater numbers than expected sailing on Tuesday the Committee have
decided that an additional manned safety boat is necessary. For the
rest of this year it will be manned by volunteers and there will be a
list on the notice board - so if you can please volunteer.
There have been many people not turning up for duties recently -
can all members please consult the yearbook and check their duties and
TURN UP AT LEAST AN HOUR BEFORE RACING. When someone does not turn up
a replacement must be found which normally means someone giving up
their sailing for the day.
For racing to take place there must be THREE people on DUTY and AT
LEAST TWO changed and manning the rescue boat. Racing can not take
place unless there are at least three people on duty.
